The longer answer: Its pretty simple NDMP is just a transport protocol analog to TCP/IP as such the data is opaque. Also translating things to anything other the the NDMP opaque data means you may loose data. Its even so that NDMP backups of one vendor may not be restorable on an NDMP device of an other vendor. Some times things are the vendor implementing TAR or DUMP protocol which looks exchangeable but may well be not as it could encode in extended attributes all kind of info like CIFS and NFS attributes etc. As we save the datastream as opaque data you can extract it or restore it using a filedaemon but then you just get the opaque datastream. When you copy that over to the NDMP device you might be able to restore it there I know people have done so using the NetAPP SM_TAPE format which is a form of SnapMirror Tape format that is used by NetAPP to sync between devices. -- Marco van Wieringen [email protected] Bareos GmbH & Co.
